Virat Kohli confirms he will bat at 3 in T20 World Cup

Indian skipper Virat Kohli has expressed his thoughts on not opening the innings for India alongside Rohit Sharma in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021. Team India will play their first warm-up match of the tournament against England on October 18, whereas they play their tournament opener against Pakistan on October 24.

After winning the toss against England, while speaking on the official broadcast of the match by Star Sports, Kohli said, "We will bowl first. We have had success in the past. So we want to create that same energy. The IPL is right up there, but this is paramount. Adaptability, how plays where is what matters. We are pretty solid in how we are going to start in the first game. We will look to give game-time to most of them. Things were different before IPL, now it's difficult to look beyond KL Rahul. He's been solid upfront. I will be batting at 3. That's the only thing I can say for now."
